Beltran is one of five Cardinals named to the All-Star team, the third time in four years they've had that many. "I think it shows how we're built," Beltran said.

He has 51 RBIs and is in the top five among all NL outfielders in batting average (.307), slugging percentage (.87) and home runs (19). (Wilfredo Lee/AP)

"I've got to thank the fans of D.C. and (his hometown of) Las Vegas and everywhere else that voted me in." (Nick Wass/AP)
